A child’s vision is their most important skill. Everything a child will learn involves their eyes in some way. Think of learning to read, learning to play baseball, and even learning how to read body language and the cues used during socializing. A child needs their vision to be developing normally because any slight issue, no matter how small, has the potential to affect their performance in school or on the sports field.

In our office we understand that “vision” is more than just a pair of glasses or contact lenses. The two eyes are connected to the brain, which is then connected to the rest of the body. Vision involves many things, for example how the eyes work together as a team to look around and focus on different objects, how the eyes and the ears interact to have good balance and coordination, and even how the brain interprets the symbols and objects seen to recognize people, words, and objects.
